This loaf cake is packed with tangy lemon and lime flavor and topped with a citrus almond glaze.
Back when I wore Lip Smackers necklaces and glitter butterfly clips in my hair, I didn’t believe citrus-flavored anything could be considered a sweet. It was too tangy, devoid of chocolate, and didn’t compare to strawberry cake with strawberry frosting, which was pretty much my favorite dessert for a solid two years (I went through strong phases as a child).
Whenever I finally did discover that citrus was more than the flavor of cough drops, my tastebuds turned a corner. Chocolate everything was–and still is–life, but citrus began to climb the charts. And once I tasted Starbucks’ lemon loaf cake, I was done for. That is, until they crushed my spirits by adding a calorie count to everything.
Thanks, Starbucks, but I really preferred to eat my lemon loaf and drink my frappuccino in blissful ignorance. Now I just feel immense guilt.
A little tip from me to you, don’t just absentmindedly squeeze lemon and lime juice into the batter trusting your eyeball method to do the trick.
Because you’ll end up with a loaf of bread that’s charred on the edges with an undercooked center.
Yum.
So with this, trust me and take the time to measure.
